Plastic

Plastic is an advanced building material. It is created either by using a Polymer Press to refine Petroleum or by shearing Glossy Dreckos.

Usage
It is used to make many useful items such as:
 * Comfy Bed
 * Critter Lure
 * Critter Trap
 * Fish Trap
 * Oxylite Refinery
 * Steam Turbine
 * Transit Tube
 * Transit Tube Crossing
 * Plastic Tile
 * Plastic Ladder
 * Germ Sensor
 * Gas Pipe Germ Sensor
 * High Pressure Gas Vent
 * Liquid Pipe Germ Sensor
 * Mini Gas Pump
 * Mini Liquid Pump
 * Monument Midsection
 * Vertical Wind Tunnel

Plastic also has an excellent Radiation Absorption rate of 85%, and is tied in first place with Lead and Depleted Uranium for buildable radiation absorber.

Production
Polymer Press can produce Plastic from Petroleum. 833.33 g/s Petroleum = 500 g/s Plastic + 8.33 g/s Steam + 8.33 g/s Carbon Dioxide.

Glossy Dreckos grow Plastic scale when in Hydrogen atmosphere.

Properties
Plastic is described as antiseptic, but this has no in-game effect. It has a very low thermal conductivity. When plastic is melted it turns into Naphtha; melting objects constructed using Plastic will also convert them to Naphtha.

Trivia
The in-game chemical symbol (C3H6)n is the real life chemical formula for polypropylene.
